SOO proud of myself!

I just found myself staring blankly into the endless depths of my fridge. Thinking to myself.

"UUUUGH I'm starving... what do I want? Hmmm that stuffing looks good. Oh no wait- there's left over steak! OOOOHHHH FROSTING!!!!! "

Then I opened up the freezer and saw the microwavable Chinese sticky white rice. GOTCHA!

Just as I was about to rip the box open and nuke it then dump that heavenly neon pink sweet and sour sauce all over it- it hit me.

I AM BORED. The man will be home shortly and then it will be time to start dinner. So I put the hot pink goo and white rice away and grabbed a small snack of 97% fat free ham and a few slices of Colby jack & Monterrey cheese.

So instead of shoving easily 600-700+ calories down my throat I make a smart choice and far more healthy one... but also realizing I need a hobby :laugh:

    good job! When I'm bored and find myself blankly staring into the fridge I either grab an apple and or read a book. Also add in a cup of tea and I'm set. You did great!

    Yay!! That is great progress, keep it up! A trick too is you might be thirsty as well. Usually when you are dehydrated you will feel rundown or you think you are hungry. If you drink a glass of water and wait about 10 minutes you will find out whether you were really hungry or just dehydrated. :happy:
